Title:
  [CA0106 - CA0106, playback] No sound at all after installing few
  updates. Maybe after an update in kernel version

Status in alsa-driver package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Source Package : gnome-volume-control

  Description:  Ubuntu 11.04
  Release:      11.04

  'apt-cache policy pkgname' is returning error -   'N: Unable to locate 
package pkgname'
  Ubuntu Software Center 4.0.5ubuntu0.1

  I installed Ubuntu 11.04 and made an initial update after which my
  sound card was working fine. I have an on-board sound device along
  with a Creative Soundblaster 5.1VX sound card in PCI slot. Though both
  were enabled previously, there was no problem of conflict. I have a
  dual boot of Windows 7 parallel to this Ubuntu installation.

  After using for 3 days, there is no sound coming from my speakers.
  Tried all the methods suggested in Audio troubleshooting in Ubuntu
  support website. I installed various updates offered in the Update
  manager during these 3 days. So, I'm also doubtful about any conflicts
  that might have arose after an update. The sound card is still being
  recognized but there's no sound from the speaker.

  Ran the command "alsamixer" in terminal and found nothing muted.
  Checked all sound settings and found none muted. Checked PAVU, PA
  Device Chooser, Default Sound Card and GNOME ALSA Mixer.

  Outputs of some commands I executed in the terminal :

  venkat@Powerstation:~/Desktop$ aplay -l | grep card

  Any guidance on this issue would be great.

  P.S. : I had similar problems with my Ubuntu 10.10. Initially, sound
  works well and later after few days, sound goes dead. However, 10.10
  was removed and I installed a fresh version of 11.04 but the problem
  still persists.
